Agenda:

  • Criterion C draft due Thursday (2/13/20)
  • Control Systems
  • Criterion D end of this week / beginning of next
  • Criterion E end of February
  • Assemble IA first week of March
  • Turn in final IA March 9ish
  • Read Media:IBCS_CaseStudy2020.pdf by Monday (2/17/20)

Monday - Friday (2/3/20 - 2/7/20)

Agenda:

  • Criterion C review - ~1000 words
    • Screenshots of code
    • Extended writing (short paragraphs) that...
      • describes how your code implements the advanced programming technique
      • justifies the use of the technique (why did you use that advanced programming technique?) -- advantages of doing so and disadvantages of not doing so (or doing something different)
    • Citations / Bibliography to any external resources that you used (required!)
    • ~200 words per advanced programming technique
    • Draft due in Canvas by Thursday (2/13/20)
  • Systems in organizations
  • System design basics
  • Usability Assignment
    1. Find a software application example of "good" usability (you may not use an example stated in class)
    2. State the software application and the specific feature
    3. Identify the usability rule that it implements
    4. Display a screenshot of the application's implementation of the rule
    5. Briefly describe how that feature implements that particular usability rule
    6. Repeat the above with an example of "bad" usability
    7. Submit to Canvas

Wednesday (1/29/20)

Agenda:

  • Criterion C Outline Meetings
  • Continue working on your IA code!

Homework:

  • Work on your IA code!

Monday (1/27/20)

Agenda:

  • Read thoroughly the Criterion C description AND rubric found in Media:IBCS_InternalAssessmentGuidelines.pdf
  • Review Criterion C examples in IA Examples
  • Criterion C - Major techniques list
    1. Create a list of at least 6 techniques used in developing the product
    2. "The techniques may include algorithmic thinking, data structures, software tools and user interface. This list need not be exhaustive but should illustrate how the major components of the product were developed." (IB)
    3. Example techniques some people may have:
      • graphical user interface
      • specific search algorithms
      • specific sorting algorithms
      • 3rd-party libraries
      • object-oriented programming
      • file reading and writing
      • recursion
      • version and source control (e.g. git)
      • networking
      • client-server communication
      • ...any many more!
    4. Within each technique, write a sub-bullet point description of how you have employed that technique in your IA
    5. Submit to Canvas
  • Continue working on your IA code!

Homework:

  • Work on your IA code!
